Mud Recipe
Posted on | January 13, 2007 | 3 Comments
Try different locations and choose a site that has the most appropriate mud. In Nepal, if the mud does not stick to a brick form, and does not build up cracks, it is considered the most appropriate mix. Usually the mud about 2 feet from the groundlevel work pretty well, since they dont have the organic matters.
Soak the mix in water for at least one night.
Dance on it.
Pour it in a form to make a brick (you could use the same mix for plaster as well).
It is done!!
Start building or plastering a beautiful adobe house.
